Since we’ve been selling the Bug Zapper, we have got numerous emails from Chinese sales people trying to sell us bug busting products. Today Mike received this in response to an email he had sent earlier stating that he wasn’t really interested in their fogging gear and felt it was actually harmful to the environment:
Dear Mike,
Thanks and the fogger have a wider field on indoor and ourdoor sanitation and epidemic prevention , prevention and cure of disease and insect pest for forest and farmland, it is protecting .
Please feel free to touch me for any question
Best Regards
Betty

You got to give them 10 points for trying though.

Luckily he spelled “fogger” the way he did, that has the potential to end up in a different bag of beans!

“Betty” sounds like an alias to me. I’d be careful if I were you.
